Sometimes Love Just Ain't Enough

"But there's a danger in loving somebody too much, and it's sad when you know it's your heart you can't trust. There's a reason why people don't stay where they are. Baby, sometimes, love just aint enough. " - Patti Smith

I'm gonna tell a story.

Mababaw lang. Hindi masyadong detalyado. Kaya ko lang naisipang isulat ay dahil sa curiosity kong malaman ang kasagutan sa sitwasyon na ito.

Kasi mahirap. Kahit ako hindi ko alam ang sagot. First time kong mailagay ang sarili ko sa ganitong sitwasyon.

To start off, there is this guy na matagal na niyang kakilala. But the meet up was not the usual friendship na nakasama mo sa school project or nakilala mo sa office nyo'.

She met him through an online chat. They met up, gone to dates and even done pretty little things na unusual sa mag-kaibigan lang. But she was fine with it. He was too. Both of them weren't committed.

It was a fine friendship. Kung minsan may kulitan. Kung minsan may asaran. At kung minsan may dramahan. It involved feelings. It envolved emotions for both of them. But there was no strings attached.

He longed for her everyday. She longed for him everyday too. Nagumpisa sa casual na relationship. Hanggang sa mauwi sa development involving attraction and love.

She didn't expected for it to happen. He didn't too.

They just went all the way until they found themselves attached to each other.

For less than year, they went out on dates. Met up at the mall, watch movies and kiss before the day ends. There was no formal relationship. It was just friendship. He is single. She is too.

Though, within the same year, despite of seeing each other, they still had casual dates outside of their friendship. But the communication is always there and it was fine. He didn't had a problem going out with friends and work but still communicate with her. She is too. She was able to manage her self with the other parts of her life such as work, girl friends and her self.

Until such time that she thought of clarifying her position in his life. She wanted to know why he still hasn't popped the question. "Can we be together?"

They were fine together. They jive really well. They have a lot of things in common and they both enjoy each other's company. He is single. She is too. With all the feelings they have for each other, why isn't he asking her to be with him... to be his girlfriend?

"I don't want to lose you
but I don't want to use you
just to have somebody by my side. I don't want to hate you,
I don't want to take you
but I don't want to be the one to cry.

And that don't really matter to anyone anymore.
But like a fool I keep losing my place
and I keep seeing you walk through that door."

She asked him.

He told her that he can't commit.

She wondered why and asked him the reason.

He couldn't tell her.

She asked him again.

He told her to go. Find someone else better that him. He told her that she has a life... that they aren't meant for each other.

She tried to understand him but he kept shoving her away. She chose to move one.

Until one day, he came back. He consoled her. She listened and kept him back. They were fine again. But the answer as to why they can't have a relationship is still there.

The special friendship went on again. They kep seeing each other. They kept communicating and gone to dates. But in her mind, she kept asking why.

She finally had the courage to ask him. But before that was an intense scenario. They made love with each other. He expressed to him how he feels and she gave herself whole heartedly. After what happened to them, she had no regrets. She admitted, she loves him.

She asked her if he loved her. He answered the question as to why they couldn't be together.

"Now, I could never change you
I don't want to blame you.
Baby, you don't have to take the fall.
Yes, I may have hurt you, but I did not desert you.
Maybe I just want to have it all.

It makes a sound like thunder
it makes me feel like rain.
And like a fool who will never see the truth,
I keep thinking something's gonna change."

He already has a girlfriend. They've been together for eight years now and eh couldn't leave her because she was always trying to kill herself. He desired to be free. But he couldn't take it into his conscience that he will be happy and she will keep killing herself because he left her.

He wanted a peaceful exit. But he coudn't do it yet. He wanted to give this new girl a good start without having to look back. Without people trying to intrude their happy life together.

He just couldn't do it yet.

She just had to cry. She cried every night thinking about it. She wanted him so much. She loves him so much. She believes that no other man can ever take his place. It's just that why can't they be together.

She knew that he loves her too. But like before, all he ever says is move on. "Live your life outside this relationship. You're smart, you're pretty, you don't deserve to be treated this way."

She took his advice. But she couldn't deny that she loves him so much. She wanted him so much that she could kneel down in prayers all day just so they could be together.

But things had to fixed yet. And the only question is... is it still worthy to wait? ... when you're not sure of what you're waiting for?

Mega english ako.

Hindi pa naman dumudugo ang ilong ko.

Pero yun ang question.

I talked to some of my friends about it. Guy friends that is. They told me:

"It isn't all about love. Kahit mahal mo siya, kung gago naman ang pagtrato niya sayo. Walang sense. Simpleng relasyon, hindi niya maibigay. Anong sense na magstay ka?."

Another friend told me.

"Kung worthy maghintay, depende. Sometimes, Ok din ang maghintay. pero dapat alamin mo kung hanggang kelan ka lang maghihintay."
